Sanibel Sea School is dedicated to vibrantly teaching children and adults about marine ecosystems. We use barrier island habitats of Sanibel and Captiva to give our students an opportunity to touch, feel, and understand their surroundings.Thanks to the nature of field education, we provide a rich ocean experience that will invigorate students for a lifetime of appreciation and responsibility.We offer transformative education. It's more than an experience--it changes the way we live.

My 9 and 7 year olds LOVED this program. They went four mornings while we were on vacation, and they loved evey minute. After school, they would walk on the beach with us and tell us all they learned. Great program. Definitely recommend it for curious kids. We would enroll our kids again.

On our recent trip, my daughter went to the Sea School for a full day: seahorses & sea turtles. She had a great time, and even loved the lunch!
The instructors were very welcoming and upbeat. Highly recommend!

Our teachers had a great time with Teigen, too! What could be better than exploring the sandbar in the morning and catching a few waves in the afternoon? Thank you so much for your review.

My two kids, ages 9 & 10, went to the Sea Horse half day program and loved it! My older daughter said she especially loved the many hands on activities and the trip to the beach in search of sea horses and other sea life. About the counselors, my daughter said they were "amazing, nice, funny, smart, and made me...

It's great news that your kids had fun searching for seahorses with us - we think it's one of our best classes since there is a high chance of encountering other fascinating seagrass inhabitants as well. Thank you so much for your review.

"Sea School - can I go again?" Whether the subject is sharks or the Eco-system, the experience is a five-star winner. My granddaughter considers Sea School the best part of her December visit. Even more than the presents! Sea School is truly exceptional.

It makes us so happy that she likes Sea School more than presents. Thanks for making it possible for your granddaughter to explore the ocean with us.

Both grandsons ages 7 and 8 1/2 had the best time. They were drawn in by a very attentive, welcoming staff and program just for them. They each did 3 half-day sessions. Sometimes I plan things for them and imagine how it's going to be and it doesn't nearly meet my expectations. Sanibel Sea School was over the top. It...

How exciting to see a 15 year old get up early and ask when someone could take him to Sea School....he didn't want to be late ! This is a life changing experience no matter what level a child is participating on. Days spent at Sanibel Sea School will be with you all the Days of Your Life !
